Moving to Another Country

I want to reach out and maybe meet some more people here, or talk with each other and find news, things to do, or information about living in another country, especially Okinawa. Please email eaosmith@gmail.com with suggestions, comments, problems or ideas with dealing with moving to another country.

Thoughts and Updates

Hey Everyone,


So I am not good at the updates, but I will get the hang of it, I have three years to get it really good!!! Well I feel like I have to write something SUPER interesting every time I write, and I am realizing that is not the case. I also do not have to write pages and pages off information either, but I thought I did. Instead, I need to just write like journal for everyone to read even if my life is not super exciting!!!! So the last week, I worked a lot and I relaxed. I guess we are now officially settling down. We are getting ready for the long haul of living here. We are not feeling like we have to do something at every second of everyday, which is actually pretty nice. Well work is going well, I am just putting out fires as the come up. But it is going well, my boss only has 2 weeks less with us and I am very sad. He is a wonderful boss and definitely brightens your day.

We do not have any updates on dogs, we had another meeting last week with the Inspector General, he is the guy who wants to keep everyone behaving and happy, so that is a good step. Sgt Maj Rew, is great he was there and I got to meet him, and he really cares so that is nice to know there are people out there fighting to help us. Also one of my Col Buddies is helping to with converting our tower to an integrated pet tower, which means pets are allowed but everyone does not have to have one. We also got a call from housing about maybe moving. Brad does not want to move, he likes our friends and wants to stay near them and he does not want to give up the guest room, because Right now we have 3 bedrooms, our bedroom, the guest bedroom and the “man room” aka an office. It only has a desk in it, and a tv. I said if we move I will give up the guest room to keep his man room for the pets!!!! We will see what happens, I do not really want to move away from our friends but maybe we will get an offer closer or that Brad really likes, because it is for 3 years (unless Brad gets Warrant Officer…hopefully). So that is the status with that. Munson and rocky are doing very well at the farm. Rocky is B-Pa (Brads Dad)’s best friend and has attached to the farm very well, and loves living there. Munson loves it too but still has pouting fits. I do not know what I would do about moving them over here, because they seem so attached, but I am attached. Or maybe it will be better for them to stay and them get a new little brother. I have no idea, I guess I need to wait to worry.

We have started going to a new church. We really like it, we have been 2 times now, and went to Sunday school yesterday which was great as well. I think we have found a good fit and a good community.

Brad and I will be celebrating our 1st year anniversary this weekend. I think we are going to go to a zip line course with our group of friends. We will also be running a triathlon as well. So it should be an interesting weekend, Brad should have some good pics and videos for me to add. I cannot believe the first year flew by so fast. And I cannot believe that it is almost April.
I think I am going to wrap it up now, so that I can add my thoughts each day. Not something great and wonderful. I will get pictures of our house and cars up but I think deep down I am still thinking something will change so I have not updated pictures of the house, but we will see.

I miss everyone!!! Love you!!
